after recently having access to a cart I now realize the value. What is your choice, gas or battery power? Larry Woodfin | ||

Gas, gas and more gas. Heard another horror story on an electric cart while I was in Denver. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am....... | |||

If you ever take the family to a campground...Electric is the only kind accepted on the grounds... Mine is gas because batteries don't like me ![]() Burt I'm So Proud To Be An American And Not A Democrat... | |||

You can buy ALOT of gas for the cost of replacing the batteries in an electric one. | |||

I have had both, now have gas, and that won't ever change again. Too many horror stories about electric carts in race trailers. SLAM dunk for the win....... Gas!!! | |||

Batteries cost $600+ to replace and last about 5-6 years. Electric carts have very little resale with 3+yo batteries. I like electric but way too cheap to spend $100+ per year on batteries. $100 buys a lot of gas. Gas carts are more expensive up front for used ones. Not sure about prices of new ones. Matt Ward | |||

I prefer electric.... I even try to avoid golf courses that I know use gas carts. I replaced the original batteries in my 2005 36v cart back in 2015. Keep them on the charger when not in use and don't run them below 50% capacity and they will last. When I was hauling it to the track, it was in the back of the truck so not much bouncing. Now it rides on a utility trailer behind the fifth wheel when we are going to the beach. Mikey | |||

Definitely Gas. I just replaced the SINGLE, 11 year old (2007 dated) battery in my GAS cart for $79. And I never have to worry about batteries running down at a bad moment, or waiting and waiting for them to recharge... Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

I have electric, I bought it several years ago when I was just racing a weekend bracket race. Usually 1 night and then home. Worked great, but now when I'm out for 3 or 4 days at a time it's a pain in the azz. I have to charge every night and a lot of times during the day if I'm towing someone. If I had to buy a new one it would be gas for sure. | |||

Here is something to think about. I personally would not buy a golf cart now. I would buy a TaoTao Rhino 250 four wheeler they are only $1250 new and pretty nice. Or the other option I would do is buy a used Smart car, they have air conditioning, radio and are street legal if you need to go to town for hotel or something. Did I mention the Smart car has air conditioning? With all of the problems of golf carts catching fire lately and as expensive as they are I have no interest in one. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

Or a Smart car. And good luck getting that smart car in front of the tower, thru the staging lanes or up by the snack bar at any track I go to? Mike Greene ![]() | |||
